Rivière St-Jean
Well known to salmon fishers, this majestic river winds through the mountains; with unforgettable scenery along the way. Its natural force leaves no-one, either beginners or experts, unaffected.
Rivière York
Breathtaking cliffs from which spill waters of an exceptional purity, meanders fashioned by glaciers, renowned salmon pools deep in the heart of soaring canyons… it’s no less than awe-inspiring!
Rivière Darmouth
From the moment you take to the water at the base of the waterfall, you will be gripped with admiration for this river, whose most frequent visitors are the salmon you can see if you manage to tear your eyes away from the surrounding mountains and valleys.
$80 per person per day
Half price for children from 5 to 12 years of age
